Second World War Lesson Plan

Great Britain 2 1938 

Today we started scouting other countries and figuring out how we are going to approach this war. We know what materials we have. Currently we are sitting well with iron ore. We need more oil, coal and rubber. If we gather more of these materials we can grow our overall rating up higher. When we gather the materials we need we will look into how we can help Poland from being invaded by Germany. A German invasion is bound to happen in Poland. It is difficult to have to send troops over right away because of the German navy. France will have to stay close allies to us if we want to succeed in this war. Having the US on our side will also help. We can’t allow Germany, Italy, and Japan to gather too much land and resources. Containment is key early on. 

Great Britain 2 1939 

The war has started today. We have seen what the axis powers are capable of. Japan will continue to dominate in the Pacific if they are left unchecked. We really need the United States to come in and keep Japan contained. We don’t stand a chance in this war if the United States doesn’t join soon. The USSR has been up to some suspicious activities. I’m concerned if they have decided to ally with the axis powers. I overheard Japan talking to the USSR about giving them materials. The USSR with materials teamed up with Russia would be unstoppable. We intend to make an alliance with Norway and Sweden to be able to bring our Navy up to control the Baltic Sea Zone. 

Great Britain 2 1940 

Our navy and the French navy has proven itself today with our first invasion. We first started the year out by making a secret alliance with Sweden and Norway. The naval attack succeeded in defeating the German ships in the Baltic Sea Zone. We don’t have to worry about the Germans making any advancements over the sea in that direction. Some ships were lost in the process, but that is war. Germany is moving masses of troops into the Netherlands, threatening France with an invasion soon. To help as much as we can, we are shipping in troops expect a standoff against the Germans. The thing we have been waiting for has finally come. The United States has entered the war on the allies side. This is huge good news for us. The next thing that would help is if the USSR joined the allies as well. We lost all of our territory in the Pacific except for Australia. We might need to get those troops out of Australia unless we are reinforced by the United States. Australia could be a good place to stop and store up troops to go against the Japanese. 

Great Britain 2 1941 

This year has started off tough with Germany moving 5,500 troops into Belgium. Things are looking grim for France. We were right, even with the US and Great Britain shipping all of the troops that we could. France has fallen, F1 and F2 have been taken over. Italy has come in from the south and Germany from the North to form the 1 2 punch out to France. We as Great Britain did everything that we could. F3 is still unoccupied by any of the axis powers and is still in ally control. We plan to send in troops to get the defensive bonus if they try to attack any more. The axis powers troops are very weak to the East. If the USSR would join the allies we might stand a chance at retaking France and defeating the axis powers. We would have to share materials with the USSR to get their army rating improved, but we need them to do something. 

Because Great Britain is on an island and all hostile ships around it have been destroyed, we don’t have much of a threat against us. We will just have to keep shipping as many troops as we can into F3 to try and eliminate the axis forces. If the United States wasn’t so far away we might be able to take it back faster. It takes 2 turns to move any US troops into France which is time wasted. 

Great Britain 2 1942 

As expected Italy and Germany have sent in the majority of their troops to F3. We sent in as much defense as possible, but it wasn’t enough. The good thing is, the Germans and Italians troops are all spread out and weakened. We plan to work with the US and send in more troops where they are weak, to eventually retake France and destroy the axis powers. The Germans have attacked the USSR causing them to join the allied forces. This is a big positive for us, now we have a force of troops allied with us to the East of Germany. The US keeps getting more and more troops and ships allowing us to be able to take advantage of their military rating and bring the fight back to the axis powers. Japan has seen the threat that the USSR has against them and they are moving troops to defend against, or possibly invade Eastern USSR. The United States will have to deal with Japan. We are willing to use our ships to transport US troops over into Japan’s territories. An attack by us and the United States together will bring down their dwindling troops in France and Germany. We will have to communicate and work together with the USSR to plan our attacks strategically. 

Great Britain 2 1943 

This year was all about preparations. We have loaded troops into Great Britain to prepare for a invasion into France to take it back. Germany realizes that they don’t stand a chance agains Great Britain and the US together. Germany continues to try and take over parts of the USSR. The USSR’s rating is hurting them as Germany is winning the small battles. Italy is being a real pain as well as they keep shipping troops into the Middle East that is controlled by us. To help out the USSR we are bringing those troops out of the Middle East and into Southern USSR. As we see how all of the Axis Powers troops in Europe are dwindling, it gives us hope. The only real threat in the Axis Powers is Japan. USSR has a large number of troops in the East but I fear it will not be enough. As we work our way into Europe, hopefully it will distract them. We plan on using our ships to the West of the US to help ship troops over into Japanese territory. The US will need to help out in the Pacific if we want to win the war. We could send US troops into Australia to hold them there before taking over different Japanese territories.  Europe is just ground that is ready to be taken over. Japan’s rating and troop number will be difficult to take over, especially because of how they are geographically positioned. It will take time to get anything all the way over to Japan. 

Great Britain 2 1944

This is it, D-Day. We’ve made enough preparations and have enough troops along with the United States. We are ready to take back France. We expect some resistance, weather or not Italy will assist Germany we cannot say. We have been successful in taking France back. Now we have a strategic place that we can ship troops to keep taking the fight to the Germans. Italy has been taking over more and more places in the Middle East. After they were done and we threatened to overtake their homeland, they sent an alliance paper to us. We decided to ally with them so that we could cleanse the rest of Europe. More time spent fighting another country like Italy, is time wasted. Making allies with them was in our best interest. USSR is barely holding in there, Japan is pushing to the East and Germany is getting dangerously close to Central USSR territory. With more movement of the troops that were in the Middle East we will be there to help defend against an invasion. We have also strategically moved our ships to the North Sea Zone to be able to ship our troops directly into Germany. Taking all of this land in Europe has also given us more and more resources. This takes resources away from the enemy and gives us resources. Japan proves as the biggest threat now, our ships will come in handy for moving US troops into Japan. They can be stored in Australia if they need to be. 

Germany 2 1945

The war has become a game of cat and mouse. Germany is running from us as we liberate Europe. The USSR as expected has failed to hold off both Japan and Germany pushing on both sides. We couldn’t chase down Germany in time to save them from being invaded by Germany.  Our troops in Australia have withstood an attack with some help from the United States. Australia is an important place to have so that we can store troops there until we are ready to attack Japan. If we had one more year of war, the rest of USSR would be cleansed of all axis powers. If we only had more time during each invasion and movement period, this war would be over. Many more opportunities would have presented themselves. We could have helped protect the USSR if we had more time to move our troops into Ukraine. The US is moving more ships into the Pacific helping to defeat the Japanese in their territories. With a few more turns, all axis powers will be defeated. The United States has helped out so much in the war. 

World War II Activities

Great Britain 2 1938

We are getting to know our country and find out some of the goals we need to accomplish and how we are going to do it. We are going to try and figure out our strategy. Tomorrow, we plan on announcing that we are going to support Poland. This will help us with one of our objectives, of honoring our alliance with Poland. We plan to honor alliance with Belgium as well. In the future, we plan on taking over the Baltic Sea to prevent Germany coming over and this will also help us invade other countries. We are going to try and get our rating as high as possible. We are planning to try and get as many natural resources we can get from the United States. We are going to do everything we can do complete our objectives!

Great Britain 2, 1939

Today we convinced the U.S. to give us some resources, they gave us some oil, so now all we need us rubber. We now have a secret alliance with the United States. We were going to make an alliance with the USSR but we saw them making alliance with people against us, so we decided not too. The USSR also turned on Poland, so we know that they can’t be trusted. We helped China when they got invaded but they still lost. Tomorrow, we are planning on asking Norway and Sweden if they want to make an alliance with us. We were thinking about taking over Arabia to get more coal, but the U.S. gave us some instead. 

Great Britain 2, 1940

France helped us take over the Baltic Sea Zone. China needed some coal,  so we decided to give them some since we had more than we needed, We also made our alliance with Sweden and Norway official. We decided to keep to secret, we don’t think anyone needs to know about it. We were asking around to see if anyone needs any resources, because we have all of ours except the rubber. We are struggling to get rubber because the axis powers have most of it. 

Great Britain 2, 1941

The United States moved 400 troops over into France. They did this because Germany moved troops into Belgium, so they were going to get invaded soon. Germany did end up  invaded F1 of France, the United States and France moved everything they could. We also moved everything we could to help them but Germany still won. We sent over some troops to help the U.S. when Japan invaded the Philippines but that didn’t really help. 

Great Britain 2, 1942

Germany invaded F3 of France and we sent all of out troops that we could. We knew that we wouldn’t win, but we decided to do it anyways because it would weaken Germany. We were right, we didn’t win but it did weaken them. Italy invaded Egypt and we brought in 50 troops from Palestine. The axis powers still won. The USSR turned to the Allied Powers. We were a little skeptical at first, because in the beginning they betrayed the allied powers, but we decided to take a chance and trust them. They needed a lot of resources. We took over Arabia, to get the 5 coal. We are planning on giving the USSR 12 coal. 

Great Britain 2, 1943

The Axis Powers took over Poland, which made them even weaker. We are planning on taking F3 of France back or taking over Germany. We have to move troops to certain spots in order for this to work. So it’ll take a awhile to accomplish this. Italy invaded Arabia and Serbia we decided not to do anything because it’s not worth it. We lost the coal that we gained from that country but it was okay because we had the coal that we needed. We just couldn’t give the USSR the coal that they needed. 

Great Britain 2, 1944

We finally decided to invade F1 of France to get it back from the Axis powers. We won. Then we moved some troops to prepare for taking over Germany. We are also thinking on taking over the rest of France. We took over F3 of France and then we attacked Germany and we won. The U.S. took over the rest of France. The U.S. invaded the Netherlands and P1 of Poland and they won. We are trying to get as much territory and land as we can. 

Great Britain 2, 1945

We decided to take over Belarus, and we won.  The USSR isn’t looking to good, Japan is trying to take over. We are trying our best to fight back and help them, but there wasn’t much that we could do. We have started to take some of the territory that they had lost. We had an advantage in the war because we were on an island. It would have been very hard for the other countries to invade us. It also made it easier for us too move in navy. Overall, we accomplished many things. The allied powers won the war and we completed most or even maybe all of our objectives that we had. 

WW2 Lesson Plans

Germany 2 1938

The new orders have come in. Captain has given us a list of objectives to accomplish throughout the war.  This war, we are putting our foot down. We are NOT going to accept defeat. We will not be humiliated once more. In 1939, we have come up with an operation to take out the first territory of Poland. The battle should be easy. Almost too easy. We also plan to ally with Belgium and the Netherlands to try to gain access to France. If they do not choose to ally with us, then we will conquer them anyways. We need to take Frances resources and play our cards from their. Japan will be a huge help as well Italy. No one compares to the power of Germany. We will get revenge. 

Germany 2 1939

This was a very successful year with many Axis powers victories! The Third Reich starts off with invading Poland with an easy victory. Next we signed a non-aggression pack with the USSR. We also allied with Belgium and we took over the Netherlands.  In the process of all of this, we have gained many resources to boost our overall army rating. Our next plan in 1940 is to take Norway, Sweden, and Denmark to seize the resources that they have. Soon we will be able to invade France and take revenge on them for the Treaty Of Versailles. Japan has been doing exceptionally well in conquering Eastern countries. Hitler is predicting an attack soon from France and Great Britain, but they will be no match for the German army. Once we get the resources we need, no one can stop us.

Germany 2 1940

We suffered a crushing loss that was crucial to German success this year. Our orders were to sail up North with our strong Navy and take Norway and Sweden to get get the precious resources. But, on November 17th, The British Navy took us by surprise and completely wiped out all the Navy that we had. Ships were blown up, shrapnel spread across the Baltic Sea. Thousands of lives were lost in a crushing defeat. We had knew we had two options going forward if we were going to get those resources. We either had to get permission from Russia to be able to transport our troops through there land, but that would take till the end of the simulation, or our clever idea of making a secret alliance with Sweden to take some of the resources. It’s not all of them, but we took what we needed to fuel our army! Meanwhile, Japan has officially taken out China and Japan is making it’s way to the Americas. Japan and Rumania have also made some generous donations of resources to Germany for a great cause: Germany taking over the world. In 1941, we plan to take out France and take their resources. Nothing will stand in our way anymore. 

Germany 2 1941

Get me a beer! What a successful year for the powerful Nazis! We successfully took over two thirds of France and we plan on finishing them off. We got permission from Belgium to send troops through there land in order to invade France. France was fiercely outnumbered as we sent 5,500 troops past enemy lines in a quick battle. The French were weak, we need new competition! Competition that will be able to stand up to the power of Germany! Our next move is a good question. We plan to take the last region of France to gain the precious Iron resources. Although, the United States has officially entered the war. They are also drafting and becoming stronger by the thousands as we blink our eyes. Finally someone that may be able to stand up to the power of the Hitler and The Third Reich.  Japan still plans to attack East toward the United States, but it may be wise to hold back to see what they do. In year 1942, it’s about to go down!

Germany 2 1942

Well, you don’t win them all. We were able to finish taking France and fend of the powerful British Navy. We then transported all of our troops from Germany into Poland in an attempt to take the eastern region of Poland. We sent in many troops, but the Russian Army outnumbered us greatly. We almost won, but there was nothing left in the tank. In 1943 we plan to finish taking Poland and start working our way inland of Russia! Meanwhile Japan is planning to attack Eastern Russia with all of his troops possible. Japan has manifested an unlimited supply of resources and is going to use them to their advantage. The United States is planning something big. Rumor has it that the United States has begun manufacturing an atomic bomb. We are unsure of their progress. We are starting to spread ourselves pretty thin across Europe. Our troop supply is running low. With Russia joining the Allies, finishing this war will be tough, but with the power that we have, we can do this! If we can get inside of Russia, that will be big to close out this war. 

Germany 2 1943

The United States are starting to make some moves. They have started shuffling their navy and making their way over to Great Britain. I believe that they are going to make an attack on France with Great Britain. Our troops supply is extremely low on the western front. We have already begun heading East to officially take out the USSR. We successfully invaded Poland and we also took control of Belarus of the USSR. In 1944, we plan to continue invading East USSR in an attempt to take them out. We hope that we can meat in Central USSR with Japan to join forces because we predict that the United States are going to take France. Troops supply is vague and we won’t stand a chance no longer on the Western Front. 

Germany 2 1944

My predictions were right. The United States and Great Britain officially took back France. They are making their way East taking out everything in their way. Germany doesn’t have much troops left to spare so we are still making out way East as well to take out whatever we can from the USSR. I have a feeling the war is going to come to an end soon. I will only have to fight on the front lines a couple more times. We plan on splitting our troops in Belarus to take over Central USSR and Northern USSR. Japan plans to take over Siberia and Eastern USSR and take over Urals in the next upcoming year. We are going to try to make out way down to Southern USSR and Caucasus. Whatever happens, my wife should know that I love her. I will make it back. I promise. 

Germany 2 1945

The United States and Britain are destroying everything in their path. We continue retreating east conquering the USSR piece by piece. Japan has successfully taken Siberia and has taken over Urals. We have finally met our troops with Japan in Central USSR. The Allies continue to take over everything in the East. Including our own territory. Rumor has it that my home and my farms were burnt down to the ground. All my cattle and crops were destroyed. Those savages killed my dog Jack. Thankfully, my family has made it out of the country and is hiding in a cabin up next to the border of Denmark. A place that no body knows about.  Our troops and Japan’s troops are going to team up and take over Southern USSR for our last hoorah. We were able to capture it very easily, but we don’t have the numbers to take on the Allies. We need more troops, but I will die on this battle field knowing that I fought for the success for Germany. Even when our ruler stopped believing in us. Hitler has committed suicide and we are now left on our own. I will die on this battlefield for my family. 

WWII Simulation Materials

1938

Norway- Norway’s involvement is little to zero. Norway is keeping to themselves and remain with their allies. Norway just needs to keep their territory and stay OUT of the war. 

Sweden- Sweden’s involvement is also little to none. They need to keep out of the war at ALL costs. Although Sweden had 18 iron and countries are gonna wanna take Sweden over to get those resources. But maybe making alliances will stop people from coming to attack me. And if someone was coming for me, I am just going to give them what they want. 

1939

Norway- Today Norway just sat to themselves and watched everyone. One thing Norway has to do is remain neutral to my powers. Also, just keeping my territory if I don’t intrude anybody and keep to my lonesome I would stay to myself. 

Sweden-Today Sweden stayed to itself. One thing Sweden has is to NOT go into war.Although Sweden is high on iron ore, and if a country wanted some iron I would have to give it to them to remain my powers. 

1940

Norway- Today Great Britain asked to make an alliance so I  have agreed, Hoping that if I get attacked that their navy will help me keep my county. So far throughout the day I am still retaining my country, and Hoping that no one comes for me.

Sweden- Today Great Britain asked to make an Alliance so I have agreed, hoping that they will help me keep my land and country. But hoping by the end of today I still have my country and my resources. Hoping that Great Britain and my Neutrals help me if needed.  Today Germany offered to make an Alliance with Sweden and I said Yes. If we have a secret alliance I can stay Neutral and He won’t attack me. Also, I gave Germany 5 Iron since I have 18 to begin with. Since I gave them Iron they wont attack and take me over. So now I have a secret alliance and wasn’t taken over. 

1941

Norway- Norway is staying out of the way again and obtaining my objectives which is to do nothing. And nobody is attacking me or trying to come after me so I am basically just chilling to myself hoping and crossing my fingers that nobody comes to take Norway over. If someone were to I would have no chance of saving myself. 

Sweden-Japan needed some help, and so I gave them 5 Iron just to remain Neutral with everyone because I don’t want any alliances coming to attack me when I don’t have anything to do to offend me. Also, Japan gave me One piece of Rubber, that they acquired from Burma, So Japan and Sweden are on great terms. 

1942

Norway- It was a boring day for Norway for we don’t ever do much. My fellow Neutrals, the USSR Turned Allied but we are staying civil and friends which is good because if they wanted to they could take me over. 

Sweden- It was also a boring day for Sweden as well, we are just sitting waiting for people to either attack or leave us alone.  I am glad no ones has came for us yet. If they did I don’t have any hope to save myself and there is almost no one that would help me, to keep my country. The only reason people would attack me would to get my Iron, if thats the reason I may be able to make an agreement with them and Give them some.

1943

Norway- Today I did the same thing I have been doing for a couple days. My strategy here is to lay low and pretend I’m not here. Hoping that if the people forget I’m here then they will forget to come for me. 

Sweden Today I did the same thing again. I am hoping that people forget I’m here so they don’t come for me. If people forget that I’m here then hopefully they wont come for me and I will be able to fulfill my objective all the way.

1944-

Norway-Things are looking good for Norway, as to nobody has came to attack me or take anything from me. The Allied powers and I have an alliance and They are  taking over the surrounding Axis powered countries. Which is good for me who is neutral and very vulnerable. As long as people don’t cross the water or come through the USSR I should be good. 

Sweden- Things are looking good for Sweden and nobody is coming for me yet. As long as nobody comes for me I should be set and safe. There is one day of this war left, tomorrow, and if nobody comes for me I will have all my objectives and I wouldn’t have went into war. Which I can not do and I will be neutral. I am hopefully, fingers crossed, all set for the end of this war. 

1955-

Norway- Well it is the last say of the war and I made it through without being taken over. I stayed neutral and had a few alliances along the way which I believe helped me tremendously into not being taken over. I stayed out of the war drama and stayed my own country. I didn’t gather the resources I needed though, but there was nobody I would have been able to attain those from. I am glad no one came for me, So my objectives for this war were a success. I remained neutral and I kept my land. It was a successful war for Norway. Although looking at the maps, the whole map changed in just a short day. The USSR was shortly taken over by Japan and the Axis powers, which made me a little weary because if they took over  Finland then they could have taken over Sweden and then eventually Norway, because Norway had little to no troops so I would have been taken over the last day which would have been unfortunate. 

Sweden- Well, as it was the last day of the war I successfully stayed neutral and as my own country and I avoided war at every cost possible. Earlier on in the war Germany was planning on attacking me for my Iron but I figured if I could just give them the Iron they hopefully wouldn’t have attacked me, which they didn’t So I successfully kept to myself. Although the Axis powers were slowly taking over the USSR, and I was a little worried they would take over Finland as well, and then Sweden, but thankfully they didn’t. All in all, I stayed out of the war and stayed my own country with little to no obstacles. 

Second World War Activity

Period 2 

United States, 1938 

Journal #1

We have a surplus of natural resources and we are planning on suppling Great Britain with anything they need, so they are able to be successful. The only thing that we don’t have is rubber. If the opportunity presents itself we will obtain that. In addition to that, we have a very strong army rating and our strong military will be able to defeat anyone wanting to attack. We are hoping to stay neutral until we are attacked so we don’t create more conflict. Our goal isn’t to cause trouble or cause anger, we are hoping to create peace. We will try our best to defeat the Axis powers, but will not engage in any fighting unless it is absolutely necessary. We are willing to make alliances with our allies, but that doesn’t ensure their safety. Our main goal is to supply and help in the way, so we don’t have to use our military. We are very fortunate to have all of those resources. 

United States, 1939 

Journal #2 

The war has started and Germany is trying to take over all of Europe. They had invaded and taken Poland and is not stopping. The soviet union has asked us to make an alliance with them, but we want to see what happens. We are nervous about Japan and what their plans are with the United States. Since the soviet Union and Japan had made an alliance, we want to wait just incase they want to screw us over. In addition to that, we decided to be helpful and provide France and Great Britain with natural resources. One of our objectives is to transfer resources, so we are planning on making that happen. We know that Germany will go after France and try to take it over, so we are planning on doing everything we can to help them without using our military.  

United States, 1940 

Journal #3

This year we were finally brought into the war and we couldn’t be happier. At the beginning of the year we decided to aid China with natural resources because we have a surplus, and they were struggling to fight Japan. Japan has been a pain in the butt lately, but we finally get to show them who’s boss. They had attacked and acquired Hawaii, however we were expecting that and now we can crush them. Our military rating was at a 9 and since we were attacked it is now at a 13. This change has made us the most powerful army in the world. We now even have a better military then Germany. We are ready to defeat the axis powers, and are also ready for anything that is thrown our way. Next year we are hoping to stop Germany from invading France because we are now officially apart of the axis powers.  

United States, 1941

Journal #4

This was a big year for the Allies, and by big year I mean it was not a good one. Most of France was taken over by Germany and even with our amazing army we could not stop it. Now there is only one part of France left, and there is nothing we can do at this point. We can supply them with anything they need, but other then that they are on their own. In addition to that, we are just trying to keep Japan and Germany away from the Western United States, so we don’t lose any of our original territory. At this point we still have all of our resources, except rubber but that is not on the list of things to do right now. We need to focus on keeping and defending our land because Germany is not stopping and pretty soon they are going to have all of France. Unfortunately, we will not be able to liberate all of Europe. However, we have done what we could and we hope nothing like this happens again in the years to come. 

Unites States, 1942 

Journal #5

Hmm where do I start. Well France was taken over by Italy and unfortunately we couldn’t do anything to help. We are still meeting all of our objectives, but it would have been nice to keep that land. Good news though, the Soviet Union decided to join the Allies. Which means that Germany is surrounded on one side and are army rating with help conquer and defeat. With this news we decided to move our navy closer to the Western United States and we are hoping that this helps us defend. We are still in search for rubber, but that is not at the top of our priority list. We are also planning on staying neutral until attacked or if we need to help another country. In addition to that, since our army has proven to be very strong, we are starting to make Germany and Japan a little nervous. That however was the goal and we are glad they are starting to calm down. 

United States, 1943

Journal #6 

We haven’t been able to do much war because we are trying to move our troops into France. We have done a lot of moving and hopefully next year we will be able to take France back. France will not be able to mobilize, but we will be able to liberate them. We are also planning on taking Germany as the war goes on and hopefully stopping Japan for acquiring land. They have stayed pretty quiet so far, but I am guessing that that will not last. 

United States, 1944

Journal #7 

This year we were able to do some liberating. We were planning on taking France last year, but we weren’t able to because we ran out of time. We were finally able to take it back and we also took Germany. The German army is limited and they will not be able to do anything else. They don’t have the military strength to gain anymore territory. Now, we just have to worry about Japan and their plans. However, with the help of Great Britain, we have the strength to defeat them. After we stop them we are planning on taking back Alaska because we want to keep our original territory. Being the United States, we are prepared for anything, and are excited to see the Axis powers fall. 

United States, 1945 

Journal #7 

This year was another eventful year for us. We had the chance to do more liberating of Europe which is working in favor of us because that is one of our objectives. With the help of Great Britain we were able to take Poland back from Germany and the Axis powers. The Axis powers however, have taken a lot of the Soviet Union. We were planning on not letting Japan take anymore territory and hopefully help the Allies retain their territory. However, the simulation has ended. Overall, we have completed most of our objectives and have been successful in liberating Europe. We feels as though we did everything we could to help the Allies. 

Start day Today we talked about the strength of our troops and why this simulation is different from the ww1 simulation. Now we need oil, rubber, and iron, so we got to attack places that have material so thats our first strategy is trying to get material for war. If we don’t have have the right stuff for our troops, will stay weak, but the more material the stronger we are. My thought process right now is  for people I’m acquired with to get resources for our team so we have better chance of winning. The one mistake we made last simulation was that we didn’t put Germany ships around the U.S.A so France and Britain were bringing in troops and destroying us, Germany and A.H.  

Germany 1 1939- Were starting to plan an attack on Poland. Japan is now starting to attack the Indies because of the resources. We exchanged resources so we can more advance. So far we won both wars for Nazi and Japan and we got a lot of rubber. We signed an alliance with the soviet union so we can keep peace with each other. My thoughts about the whole resource thing is pretty good, especially sharing and getting the best we can for war.  I don’t think signing alliances is all to good, unless its a bigger army, but in this case we are the strongest country but we are stuck in the middle of 3 big countries. I just hope France, Great Britian, and Solviet Union don’t attack all at once even though Germany would have the way stronger army we could suffer major losses. I just hope countries are scared to try to take over the Germany

Germany 2 1940- Japan just took out SC China and it is like a cake wake going threw china. Japan troops have a rank of a good 9. They are basically unstoppable  At this point were taking the map and basically painting it yellow. Japan just got defeated by Serbian troops helping China. Italy tried attacking French North Africa but we didn’t put enough troops in there to over come the troops they put in. So 2 defeats so far.  We also attacked NC China and Japan was victories. The USSR tried attacking Finland but Finland manage to somehow win surprising. People are basically really annoyed with us and people are getting irrupted with there group. Someone actually left there group and came over by us. ‘Sweden’. I think Spencer is really getting in there head about how powerful we are but we really haven’t attacked anyone. 

Germany 3 1941- We started an attack on Finland and Russia put 2500 and we put in 250. Holy cow did kill but in the long run they won us. We took them all the way down to 891 so that is really good on our side. I feel like everyone is getting irrated with our good troops and our annoying mouths. Now were attacking Poland and the other side seems to be giving up slowly. Now were going for Lithuania and everything is going out like a hot knife going threw butter. Now Japan is going threw Buma-GB and we just won. Everything is going with ease and now I want to go for U.S.A because overall they take us all in the long run. If we take them now they can’t help. Plus they got so much materials. Germany is now attacking Belgium for transportation for France. We won Belgium. We won again. We lost a thousand troops but we took out a lot of France and Great Britain Troops. The Eastern USSR attacked Japan. Manchukuo and we won. But we took major losses.

Germany 4 1942 So today we really made Norway mad because they allied with us and we had to attack Norway. The person who had Norway freaked out on us but oh well. She was able to get Russia to help her out but were gonna kill them one way or another. So at this point Japan took out China cause Japan troops are so strong. The U.S.A is gonna be big play later in this simulation because they are gonna kill Japan easily

Germany 5 1943 Today Japan took Serbia to begin with. Now Germany and a few other allied troops with us are taking Ukraine. We took Ukraine and now were trying to move threw the USSR. Japan just now attacked the Philippines and we over took them. The weird thing is that they are starting to get hard and our troops seem to be weaker. At this point we taking over Russia because they have zero troops so were just sweeping.

Germany 6 1944 Today a lot of stuff went down. A lot. The allied sides are going crazy. It started out with the USA taking a part of Japan then bam. Germany and Italy is making them suffer because of it. Russia really sucks, I feel bad for the guy operating it because all he did was lose, lose, lose. We are pushing, so get out of the way. Tomorrow is a big day. Like a really a big day. We taking France I think. The people from France are begging Italy not to take them because they need there objectives done. But I hope Italy gets threw that so we can take them. I wanna push straight threw them. The USA can’t really do anything because most of there U boats are sunk cause of Japan so they are really suppressed. Tomorrow sh!t is going down.

Germany 7 1945 So today is the last day and wow. We were about to attack France but then they attacked Belgium so we had the defending bonus. Big upset but Germany still pulled threw for the victory and now were attack France. Today was the finish. Our map wasn’t suppose to look like the way it looks now. The whole map should be red but its yellow. If they had more time they could possibly send more of USA troops and eventually take over but they couldn’t. We stalled near the end so they couldn’t take back any of France. We moped threw people and it was so easy. Im so glad Italy stood by our side for the finish because they’re the role changer in the game. If it weren’t for them we would of lost. But we mopped floors today. We mopped floors.

World War II Simulation

Rumania 1 1939

This is the start of something big. Bigger than what we could have imagined. I sure hope this is not a repeat of the First Great War. I hope this one is done with quicker. We have more technology and I have powerful allies. 

Bulgaria 1 1939

I am thinking about allying with the Axis. They are very powerful with Germany at the center and Japan and Italy behind them. It seems like the smart move. I will let this play out for a while before I make my decision. 

Hungary 1 1939

I lost so much territory after the Great War. The West has made no effort to help me in regaining any of it. The Axis has made me offer that I need to think about before I make my decision.

Rumania 1 1940

I donated some of my oil to Germany and Japan. I must support them if I want any help from the in the future. I will fully support them until the end. No matter the outcome. 

Bulgaria 1 1940

I have not made my decision yet. I have been weighing my options and looking at the pros and cons carefully. I want to make the best decision I can for my people. I shall make my final decision soon.

Hungary 1 1940

Germany has made me a promising offer. I like the sound of it a lot. They would help me regain some of my lost territory if I assist them in the war. I am almost certain of my decision. I shall not announce it yet. I will wait just a bit longer.

Rumania 1 1941

I have received help from Bulgaria, Hungary, and Germany to take Ukraine. It is a large chunk of land and I have hold of it, it has weakened the USSR. My country is now safe from attack by the Allies. I am surrounded by my own allies. 

Bulgaria 1 1941

I have made my final decision to join the Axis powers. My first act as part of the Axis is to help Rumania take over Ukraine. It was a successful attack and I have gained the trust of Rumania. Hopefully I can receive some resources from them. It would help tremendously. 

Hungary 1 1941

I announced my alliance to the Axis powers. They have offered to help me regain my territory that had been lost after the Great War. I trust that they will help me when I call for it. I had helped Rumania take Ukraine and I have gained their trust. I will need them to support me in the future.

Rumania 1 1942

After taking Ukraine, Germany has been helping me push further into the USSR. I have been assisting them as they help me simultaneously. Our goal is to wipe them out so they can do no damage to us. Japan has been dealing with them in the East. We are pinching them from the west. They cannot receive help from their allies.

Bulgaria 1 1942

The troops I sent to help with the taking of Ukraine have been pushing northeast with Germany’s troops to wipe out the USSR. I have received word that once they are gone, we will be pushing back west towards France. 

Hungary 1 1942

My troops are helping Germany greatly. They are following Germany into the USSR and offering more fresh troops to fight when needed. I have more troops here to send west when we head towards France.

Rumania 1 1943

I have sent the rest of my troops west into Italy. The plan is to take out France and then Great Britain. If we take out France, then we have all the land. Great Britain will be tough to take with their tough navy. Germany will have to deal with that themselves. I am only able to help on land. I am ready for what lies ahead.

Bulgaria 1 1943

I have sent word to my troops in the USSR to start heading back west towards France. Germany has requested that we assist them in the taking of France. I am ready to help them in any way possible. 

Hungary 1 1943

Germany has sent me word of the plans that lie ahead. I plan to keep my troops in the USSR are for now and send what I have at my disposal west. Germany has made me a great offer and I would like to honor it by helping them when I can. 

Rumania 1 1944

The USSR has been completely wiped out. Our troops are spread but I have moved whats left into Italy. Our next step is to take France. It will be a great achievement if we are able to take it. 

Bulgaria 1 1944

My troops and resting and resupplying in Italy along with Rumania. Our next big plan is to eliminate France and Great Britain. I am sure Hungary will be on the way to help us all as well. 

Hungary 1 1944

My troops have arrived in Italy and are resupplying. Rumania and Bulgaria have also placed troops here. We have many troops stationed in Italy ready to go for France. Germany also has troops in Belgium ready to attack. 

Rumania 1 1945

We have attempted to attack France. Germany had attacked them from Belgium and had failed. It is up to our armies to take a part of France and push in from there. We have obtained a small portion and have pushed north towards Belgium. We took 2 parts of France. The last attempt had been a failure. 

Bulgaria 1 1945

My troops, along with Germany, Italy, and Hungary, had failed to take part of France. Rumania and other groups of German and Italian troops had been successful. We might have failed on our side, But they will be able to push our way and maybe take over the last part of France.

Hungary 1 1945

My troops had failed me. Our armies were unsuccessful in taking our part of France. Rumania, the Germans, and Italy had been successful on their part. They need to push west to take the rest of France.  This war has been successful for the Axis. I hope to regain my lost territory when the war is over. 

Journal Entry – United States 1938 (Orientation)

It’s the beginning of what we think will be the second world war. We’re not sure yet but we believe that because we have a lot of natural resources we will be a main target. Hopefully this is not the case but knowing Hitler’s history and the way he leads that might be a possibility. Hitler isn’t the only person we’re worried about though, we have various other countries to look at because it’s not only Germany that’s low on resources. 

As of right now we have decided to stay neutral and remain passive for now. We don’t plan on attacking anyone until we’re attacked ourselves. We do plan on staying loyal to the Neutral Powers but we’d rather not get involved until we’re forced to. We have enough resources and we’re willing to help people of our alliance. But we, The United States, will not be forcing an attack on someone until we’re attacked. 

Journal Entry – United States 1939 

It’s only day one and Germany had already attacked strong taking over the Netherlands and Poland. This really shows how power-hungry Germany is and how aggressive they’re willing to be to get land. I believe Germany is in it for the land and the resources because I’ve heard talk that Germany is relying on their alliance for their resources. Hopefully they do not attack us because we’re trying to remain neutral as of right now. 

With the United States being strong in resources, we have some concern that Germany will come for us next to take over our resources. If that is the case, we will have to defend and probably call for some help from our alliance to help stop Germany.  We, The United States, are going to try to get our point across that we do not want to be involved in the war and that we’d like to stay out. We would like to remain neutral as long as possible and keep to ourselves as of right now. Somehow, I’ll need to communicate this to all the countries around me and hopefully they abide to what’s been told to them. 

Journal Entry – United States 1940

The war is starting to heat up and countries are betraying some of their alliances over power and land. Japan had taken over a lot of China and it’s believed that they’ll continue to do that until they have taken all of China. The Axis Powers have been attacking many countries and they’re taking over a lot of land. This concerns us heavily because if they’re power-hungry then they might decide to go after the United States. 

So far, we’re sticking to our plan of staying neutral and staying out of the war. We’ve decided that we want to focus on fixing the depression and we want to stay to ourselves. We will NOT attack anyone and we will remain neutral but we have decided that we WILL provide resource to other countries. We believe that if we keep our resources to ourselves than the chances of us getting targeted will increase. So, we will be supplying resources to other countries but we will not be getting involved in war and sending troops to other countries. 

Journal Entry – United States 1941

Japan has officially involved us into this war by bombing Pearl Harbor. This is MAJOR and we have decided to side with the Allies. We WILL be taking action in this and we will work to take over the Axis powers. We are planning on gaining troops and taking over the Axis Power lands and getting revenge on Japan. 

We have sided with the Allied powers and we are figuring out how to take over the Axis land. We, the United States, is the only country that mobilizes and gains troops throughout the war. We plan on taking advantage of this and using this to overpower other countries. Japan will be suffering consequences for bombing Pearl Harbor and WE DO NOT plan on going easy on them.  

Journal Entry – United States 1942

Today was not the greatest day for the Allied Powers. Japan had went in strong into China and had taken over a lot of land. China couldn’t do much and Japan had burnt through a lot of troops. My plan was to move towards Japan and take them over although the Allied Powers have a different idea. 

The Allied Powers want me to move my Navy towards Belgium to help them take over Belgium. I’d would like to provide assistance but after Pearl Harbor I wanted to be focused on taking over Japan. Willingly but also very unwillingly, the Allied Powers decided to attack Belgium which wasn’t a smart move and I stated that. They knew it was a war that we couldn’t win but continued to attack. This has a big effect on us, The United States, because we won’t be able to carry out our plan as smooth as we liked. Our focus from now on is to attack Japan and take over all their land. If we can attack Japan then we will be able to conquer their land quite easily due to them burning through all their troops. 

Journal Entry – United States 1943

Once again the Axis powers had attacked real hard and are taking over a lot of land. Japan, which had bombed us, took most of the land East of the USSR and the USSR is worried that they’re going to be invaded. Germany and Japan are closing in on the USSr and I plan on moving towards them to help.

After Japan had attacked us, we plan on going through Japan and taking over as much land as possible. We plan on taking our Navy and moving troops through the back but that’s a little difficult at the moment due to the Allies. The Allies keep requesting help, which id gladly like to supply, but it’s difficult when you have to do different things to maintain power. So far, we’re still focused on going through Japan to help the USSR and take over Japan and get revenge for what they had done. 

Journal Entry – United State 1944

It’s not looking very good for the Allied powers as we are starting to crumble apart. I am far from my allied countries so it’s hard to provide a bunch of help to them. They’re also requesting a bunch of resources from us which we will provide but we will also need some if we plan on taking over Japan. We’re doing the most with what we got trying to take over the Axis powers but it’s looking rough right now. 

The Axis powers are looking really strong right now because they had taken over a bunch of land that they needed. They had taken over the USSR and they have spread all throughout to help them maintain their land. We’re still trying to work our way through Japan which shouldn’t be very hard because they’re retreating closer to the USSR and leaving a bunch of land open. We will continue to do as much as we can but it’s not sure how much longer we can go without being over powered by the Axis powers. 

Journal Entry – United States 1945 

We’re making moves towards the Axis Powers and we’re working to take over the Germans. We’ve already taken out the German Navy and we’ve worked on taking over Belgium. We almost won that battle but felt short but we did weaken their military in Belgium by a lot. Hopefully, this’ll help us take over Belgium and help us move throughout the land that Germany is in. 

We’ve defended pretty good against the Germans and the Axis Powers so far by holding good defense. We’ve defended a good chunk of France so far and we’re trying to protect against the Axis Powers taking all of it over. We weren’t very successful taking over Japan and getting revenge but we did help our alliance and we maintained the land that we could. 

China 1 1938

Today was the day where my country gathered it’s best militaristic ideas and strategies.  We need to come up with a plan to keep Japan away, which is our biggest struggle at the moment.  I hope to make a secret alliance with Serbia so they can step in once they can stop being neutral.   I plan to try and use all of China’s military and move them around as needed.  We might need more help from other countries because of our weak military ratings.  The only problem, is that I don’t know where that help will come from.  

Finland 1 1938

Today was a stressful day of plan making.  I’ve been thinking about who I should make alliances with first.  While organizing that,  I also had to create a plan as to what I will do once I, or the Soviet Union are able to stop being neutral.  I am scared for what the USSR has in store for me, I fear they will turn on me and take advantage of my country.  Next year I plan to form an alliance with the USSR to try and keep the peace, and my territory. 

China 1 1939

This year is already off to a bad start.  I have lost North Central China to North East China (ruled by Japan).  I tried my best to save it, and I thought it would work to combine North Central China and South Central China’s  troops.  Those two combined gave me 2,400 troops against North East China’s 1,000 troops.  I was in complete shock when I saw the result of the battle; an Axis Powers victory.  I need to make big moves, and it needs to move quickly.  

Finland 1 1939

This year was quiet for Finland.  I tried to convince Germany to protect me if and when the USSR decides to come for Finland, but they just keep acting flakey and not “all in” tot he deal.  I know there’s something sketchy going on between us, but I’m not sure why.  I need to form a secret alliance with them before it’s too late.  Something else I tried was to make an informal alliance with the USSR.  They fell for it!  I told them I’d give them my troops since they threatened to take me over if I don’t… but little do they know, I have an incredible army rating!  I know it won’t be long before they come for Finland’s blood, but if I can just stall and fend for myself for a while, I might be able to gain support from German troops and/or the German Navy.

China 1 1940

My heart and mind are being broke into millions of pieces.  Japan has taken over two of my China’s territories.  China is hopeless, there are no countries around to help defend us or donate any supplies and troops.  A positive that has come out of this is sympathy from the United State, they have agreed to give China seven oil!  I am so grateful for their support through these hard times.  The lack of respect from other countries, especially Japan, has made it hard to have hope for the future of this country.  Germany has been suspiciously kind to China… they have politely declined my request for troops and raw materials, but thankfully, have agreed to convincing Japan to stop attacking China for the time being.  I have a bad feeling Japan will come back for more, but for now, I need to focus on increasing my army’s rating by gaining more raw materials and troops from surrounding countries.  These  next few years could be very scary for China, and we need to be prepared. 

Finland 1 1940

This year was a bit scary for Finland.  We held strong in a battle against our enemy, the USSR.  After making a fake treaty with them, they kept their half, but Finland, not so much.    We held up a good fight thanks to our strong military.  We don’t have much left to withstand another attack though.  We’ve tried so many times to convince Germany to lend us some extra protection using their navy, but they have declined every single time the question comes up.  We can hold our own for now, but that won’t be true for long.  I know we will need back up soon, but the only question is where that back up will come from.  

China 1 1941

This was a very quiet year for China.  I fear that Japan will come back to finish us off, so we’ve been laying low. I want China to keep the USSR’s leftover troops from our last battle up by the USSR boarder for extra protection against Japan.  I doubt that it will be enough, but every little bit will help in weakening Japan.  I know the USSR is planning on weakening Japan as much as they possibly can, I just need to figure out a way to regain my lost territory after all or at least most of Japan’s troops are gone.   Japan is focusing on the United States now, but I have confidence the U.S. can fight back.   

Finland 1 1941

This year was a sad year for Finland.  We lost all of our troops to the USSR.  We knew this might happen, but we thought we were well prepared for it.  With military support from  Germany, I was sure that we would win the battle, but it was a lost cause.  Now I need to focus on maintaining my status of staying out of European affairs after forming a public alliance with Germany.  I can’t believe Japan attacked the United States!  I have a feeling they will regret that decision.  

China 1 1942

What a depressing year.  China lost every last drop of it’s territory.  There was hardly anything we could do to save it though.  We managed to secure goods from the United States, but they barely made a dent in our military’s rating.  With no surrounding countries strong enough to help, we knew from day one it would be a lost cause.  Thank goodness for the USSR, though.  They managed to dig us out of some deep holes earlier in the war.   Sadly, their supply of troops didn’t last forever, and eventually we had no extra protection.  

Finland 1 1942

After a harsh year last year, we have decided to stay completely out of European affairs.  We had to disown our alliance with Germany to do this.  I wanted to so badly tell Germany what the Allies were up to, but I knew Finland had to stay out of whatever evil plots they had going for the Allies.  It was what was best for Finland and the Allies.  

China 1 1943

China is out of troops, and the past couple years have been lonely.  We’ve just been watching the war nag on for the past couple of years, and there is nothing we can do now to regain our original territory.  It’s not looking too good for the allies.  The Axis powers have been taking over every country they can get their hands on.  All I can hope for is the strength of the Allied powers so that they can regain all of their lost territory as well. 

Finland 1 1943

Finland has been sitting back and watching the war, just like China.  It has been hard to see all the territory being lost due to the horrifying Axis Powers.  They keep attacking all the weak countries, and theirs nothing anyone can do about it.  Finland just can’t wait for this horrible and terrifying war to end.

China 1 1944

For China, nothing has happened.  I left the Allied Powers in charge of China while I was away, but they hardly had to do anything concerning it.  The war has moved to mostly Central Europe and there is really nothing China can to to help out over there or anything we can do to regain our original territory.  This war will hopefully end soon.  We will hope for the best until that time comes. 

Finland 1 1944

Nothing has happened to Finland for a long time.  I left Finland in the hands of the Allied Powers while I was away, although nothing happened.  Hopefully this war doesn’t continue for much longer, I’m not sure how many more years all these countries can endure another World War.  

China 1 1945

Finally this horrible war looks as though it is coming to an end.  It has been very quiet over in China, nothing has touched us, let alone harm us, nor gotten close.   We are hopeful for the future, though it will take much rebuilding due to Japan’s horrific take over.  This war is now focused mostly in the Germany and France area, far from us.  China is routing for the Allied Powers.  We hope they will be able to regain all the lost territory of past Allies and serve the Axis Powers justice.        

Finland 1945

I received intel from Germany that they regained my Finland’s territory last year while I was absent, but something inside me tells me that’s not true.  A couple of the Allies,  Norway and Sweden, told me that he didn’t really try and regain my territory for me.  It’s still taken over by the Axis Powers, which is why Germany considered Finland “regained” because of our alliance.  It was never supposed to go public, but stay private.  There is nothing left to do.  The war is finally over.
